Soils contaminated with low levels of heavy metals and other trace elements are now frequently used for vegetable growing. In this situation, heavy metals and trace elements from these polluted soils may accumulate in the agricultural plants being grown in them and thereby enter the human food chain. The objectives of this study are to elucidate the effects of growth conditions, manipulated by ...

Understanding the effects of trace metals on human health is as complex as it is fascinating. As mentioned earlier, the high concentrations may prove toxic, as also, depletion in the concentration of the essential trace elements may cause various metabolic instabilities due to enzyme dysfunction. In the era of rapid industrialization and technological advances, it is imperative to watch keenly ...

atomic number above 20. These properties are not the world. In India it is cultivated under 83.00 ha of relevant for biological effects, yet the heavy metals land with production of 7.9 lakh metric tonnes. Keeping enclose essential nutrients, beneficial elements and these points in view the present investigation has been elements which, at the present stage of knowledge, are made to study the e...

This study was conducted to determine the concentrations of Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the commonly used cosmetic products such as eyeshadows, eyeliners, and skin whitening creams in markets of Sanandaj city, Iran in 2014. In this study, 60 samples comprising of three different types of eyeshadows, eyeliners, and skin whitening creams were purchased randomly from different cosmetic s...

the study of regional variations and the anthropogenic contamination by trace toxic elements of soils is very important for environmental planning and monitoring in urban areas. soil, sediment and rocks of urban areas of kerman studied to assess the degree of pollution by trace elements as a consequence of anthropogenic sources. 37 samples were collected and analyzed by icp-ms for 29 elements. ...

in recent years, heavy metal contamination of rice in different parts of the world has raised concerns about its safety and provoked crisis in it's global production and trade. in iran, also some studies have reported on the heavy metal contamination of native products. however, the concentration of heavy metals in rice grain could be influenced through preparation and cooking. this study aimed...

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new way to analyze the plant ecology. The experimental used a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to be the laser source and equipped with an eight-channel model spectrometer which’s wavelength range between 200 and 1100 nm. Studying the spectrum of the air-drying leaves and the nature leaves and detected the elements which contain Fe, Ca, Na, Mg, K, Cu, Al ...
